Rn-En RY PREIunICI-

Few persons realize how thoroughly
.hev are controlled by prejudice even TO
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment Of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciaiica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with
out stopping to think that the origin of
these troubles must, from necessity, be in
ternal, the weary sufferer continues to rub,
rub and find no relief. Athlophorosis taken
internally, and as proof that this is the
correct principle, it cures surely and quick
". The statement Of those who hare been
cured ought 10 convince the incredulous.
C. F. Bruce, Metuchen, n. J., says: "My
mother had the rheumatism in her heart,
and was cured by Athlophoros. She says
there is no medicine like It."
James W. Reed, 1888 Penn Ave, Pitts
burgh, Pa, SAYS: A" Ny mother, although Il
years of age, was entirely cured by the use
of AthlophOros."
Miss Carrie Patten, Eagle Village, y. Y,
says: "My mother was nearly cripple in
her arms, not having been able TO dress nor
scarcely able to feed herself for three
months, being in severe pain most of the
time. The acute pain ceased after taking
three bottles of Athlophoros, but she con-
tinued TO take it until all signs of rheuma-
tism were gone; having taken q bottles in
ALL She has not taken any since last May,
and can use her arms as well as ever. A
number of friends have taken it, and in
every case It has given satisfaction. In case
Of sick headache, it gives almost immediate
relief"
John VI. Wolcott, PifTard, y. Y, saws:

The Breeding Mare.

To raise a good colt every year, says
the Practical Farmer, is making a good
investment. Like every other kind of
stock, rearing it must be doue well.
The mare can work just as well as not
if good sense is the driver. She must
not be hurried or put to straining work.
She should not be made to plow where
there are fast stones and alongside OF a
fast-walking and go-ahead mate. Two
mares in foal work the best together.
The breeding mare should have time at
neon to lie down half hour and rest.
She should have oats and bran for her
food, and never be heated before or
after the foal comes. II does her good
to stop few minutes while the driver
Is taking care Of stone or repairing the
fence. We haye known q farmer to do
all Of his springs work with a pair of
breeding mares, and raise two fine
colts. lie was never in a hurry, but
his work was always well up. When
the colts get to be years old they may
be put IN half day and "spell'' the
mare. Put the breeding mare in a box
stall where she will be comfortable and
the colt Will be safe if she chances to
drop 1t in the night. II the hired man
kicks the mare, kick him off the place.
Such outrages have been practiced on
the mares and the result was the loss OF
the foal. Under all circumstances
there should be gentleness.

To Examine n Horse.

a good horse will always show well
standing at rest. The man showing g
borse for sale who keeps the animal
constantly stepping about to show of,
is to be looked upon with suspicion.
The best time TO examine a horse is
when he is at rest. 1t is then when his
weak points can be seen. If the horse
lilies up'' at some object on the ground,
neaIsightedness may be suspected. II
trought from a dark stable suddenly
into the light, and the light oppress-
es him, his eyes are weak. HIS gait
and speed should both be tested by
actual service. At rest, if the horse
is sound, he will stand square upon
his limbs, without moving any Of
them, the feet being placed fat on
the ground, and all his legs plump
and naturally placed. If one foot
be thrown forward, with toe pointing
TO the ground, and the heel raised,
or if the foot be lifted from the ground,
and the weight taken from 1t, disease OF
tenderness may be expected.

Pickles.

Picked cucumbers are wholesome
and palatable. l do not mean those
purchased from the grocers, which are
generally put up in England with man
ufactured vinegar that is slow poison,
but grown, picked and put up at home,
with homemade cider. Here is an ex-
cellent recipe which quickly converts
the cucumbers into crisp, appetizing
pickles, not affected by season or eli
mate. To each hundred of cucumbers,
put pint of salt, and pour on boiling
water sufficient to cover the whole
Cover them tight to prevent the steam
from escaping, and in this condition let
them stand twenty-four hours. They
are then to be taken out, and after be
ing wiped perfectly dry, care being Ia
ken that the skin is not broken, placed
in the jar in which they are to be kept.
Boiling vinegar if spice is to be used
it should be boiled with the vinegar is
then to be put to them, the jar closed
tight. and In a fortnight delicious, hard
pickles are produced, as green as The day
they were upon vines.

Strawberry Culture.

The condition necessary to get an
abundance of fruit with little trouble,
are Unshaded. rich. deep, mellow soil /;
free from grass. sorrel, and other like
pTOpagatIng roots. II the plants are
set out in the spring they will be in full
bearing the next year. Set them IN
line ABOUT foot apart. The rows
should be four feet apart. Have the
paths few inches higher than the CEN
ter of the row, TO incline the showers
toward the plants. Keep the ground
free from weeds till the plants mul tiply
and cover a width of about fifteen
inches. Most of the weeds will then be
crowded out. Keep both weeds and
plants out of the paths. Push runners
back, letting them run over plants that
have taken root. In winter they die
and help TO protect those that have
rooted from the injury of frequent
freezing and thawing.
Before heavy .rosts set in cover still
chopped straw. In spring remove so
much of this cove ring as has not set
tied between the plants. After the
plants are toughened by exposure TO
the sun and air il will increase the size
and amount of fruit if the small and
less stocky plants are pulled out; but
fair supply of fruit can be ATTAINED
without even this trouble. If the paths
are mulched with leaves, fine hay, or
straw the plants viii better stand a
dIouth. The mulch will also keep down
the weeds, and if extended under the
edge of the rows, will keep the fruit
clean.
Poultry must not be allowed to in
trude. y short pole with an old coat
and hat hung upon il, just before the
ripening Of the fruit, Will keep the
birds away.
After the fruit is gathered, early in
July, remove mulch from the paths.
save this for covering plants in the fall.
Then cnt away all the plants from one
side of each row, thus destroying fully
one-half of the plants. Plow deep or
thoroughly spade up this cleared space,
working in plenty of well-rotted ma
nure. Rake off any old roots liable to
catch. Manage always to keep the
paths a few inches higher than the
center of the rows, but the newly pre-
pared side should meet the O!d enough
higher TO allow for settling. When the
runners get started it is well to turn
those inclined another way toward the
new side, and in case of severe drouth
to place a handful of soil on some OF
them near the joints to insure enough
taking Ioot.
In the second year serve the other
side of the rows in a similar manner.
Thus the plants may be renewed, season
after season, without loss of ground or
time in setting out new plants.
This method of culture is Iecom-
menGed to those having but little time
10 spare, who think raising strawberries
mysterious and difficult. ANY farmer
or gardener go situated as to carry out
these directions, can,. by thus Guilt
waiting eight or ten rods of roWs
raise bushels of this delicious and whole
some fruit. Those having more time
should study the various other methods,
from each Of which some valuable points
may be gained.

Beavers Cutting Down Trees.

Landing at various points on the
gnawed through the frs and alders,
was soon succeeded by the crash of fall
ing timbers, As the trees succumbed to
their brisk attacks. And here was first
manifest lack Of that human reason
attributed 20 these animals by SO many
writers. Instead OF always cutting the
tree upon the lower side, so that it
would fall toward the water, they at
tackled it upon whichever side the shape
of the ground or the growth of the
bushes around made it most convenient,
and, as consequence, the trees fell in
all directions some up the hiii, some
down and sCme across.
The large imajority, 1t is true, fell
down hill, and the reason was plainly
apparent upon a daylight examination,
as fully 80 per cent. ot them on both
sides of the valley land the same state
ment holds true of all those mountain
gorges which We have seem leaned in
in that direction fact probably due
not only TO the common vegetable
instinct of reaching ont toward light
and an open space, but also by the
pressure, each succeeding spring, of the
sliding snow upon the upper side.
That "high water mark of civilization, -
the division of labor, WAS seen here in
full force, for while one set of laborers
confined themselves TO telling the trees,
another set Topped of the branches and
divided the trunks into sections of the
right length.

Saving Seed Corn.

The importanc Of saving seed corn by
tine to time out of date, and repeated
experiment has proven the necessity for
care in the storing Of the corn selected
for seed. In sections where short sea-
sons prevail early varieties are desirable,
hence earliness ought to be promoted
even in sorts already early by selecting
such from stalks that first ripen their
ears. The Importance of choosing fair
sized, well-develOped ears, taken from
stalks which bore at least two ears, is
apparent to every one who has given the
subject any thought.
In the selection of seed corn too much
care cannot be exercised In keeping a
well-established and desirable variety
pure. 1t should be borne in mind that
two sorts growing within quarter of a
mile of one another are liable to mix,
hence 1t is not wise to save seed from
such corn.
There does not appear to be any safer,
easier or better mode Of saving corn for
seed than the old time one of pulling
back and braiding the husks OF twenty
or more ears together, and then hang
ing these braided strands from the raft
ers of a corn house, smoke house, the
attic or other dry place. The corn must
be kept dry and out of the reach of rats
and mice. 1t IS wise plan to select
oDly the perfectly natured ears for seed;
these dry mole quickly and are not so
liable to mold. Not few farmers al
ways plan to hang their seed between
the rafters of their smoke houses, be-
lieving that, il addition to the dry at
mosphers there found, the smoke that,
permeates the kernels acts as a preYen-
tive to insect pests after the seed is
planted.
